Preheat seriously takes too long

Does anyone besides me have issues on waiting for their oven to preheat? It takes to long so I end up tossing my chicken in and then I over cook it because I question the slight temperature variation because I did not wait for the preheat light to kick off.. I know right!?

I just started cooking enough food to last about 3 days to save time and lessening my chances of getting fast food because I don't want to cook but some times I don't want to eat the food I cook so I'm not sure what to do I am still tweaking these new improvements in my life.

Any suggestions or new ideas would ROCK!!!

I recently bought a new cooler so I can carry around all the foods/ supplements that I may or may not need one never knows, but I love my new cooler w/ reusable blue freeze ice pack...Keeps my food/drinks cool all day at work 10hrs.

Anyway

Thanks for all the support and good luck to everyone at the upcoming figure competition and I'll probably be in the crowd @ the night show!!

My latest power drink concoction

OK,

Tony called me out of the blue yesterday to see how I was doing and he said he was going to call me next week to check on me too.... He is so awesome and he always reminds me that I'll see results some time soon. I posted my starting pictures a few weeks back or so, we'll see where I am in 6 months.. A girl can hope but hopefully with Tony's help and hard work I'll see some good changes with my luck I'll be addicted to Tony's workouts and be a life member or something LOL...

I made a new drink my BF tried it and did not like it but here it goes

• 3 shots of international egg whites = 3 eggs (tasteless and odorless)
• 2 drops of green tea ex
• 25% a little French Vanilla Myoplex liquid
• Tablespoon of Maxwell instant coffee
• Tablespoon flax seed oil
• crushed ICE
• mix in the silver bullet till slushy ish
• Some times I add splenda sweetener (only once so far) eh
  

Talk about a caffeine high
I like it anyway but I'm more of a texture person verses taste
That and oatmeal is an awesome way to start my day

WOOT

Started 19 OCT ......Today's Photos

So I started Tony's Work out program 19 OCT 2008 took one week off because of Bronchitis my diet has been so so OK I slip some times! Anyway, I just took some PICS and compared them to my original photos and there is a little change in the AB area and butt. I know it's too soon but I was curious... Yep, I am still wanting to gain some more muscle .......

Black and White PICS are OLDER

I took the original photos while I was deployed in Afghanistan(not looking so hot) and today I did not do my hair or anything because its Football Sunday and we all have our days darn it... I really need a photographer its kind of difficult taking PICS of myself.. How do you gals do it?

Random I know
